Installing CX Oracle for Python & Mac OS X. Instructions exist around the web, but they seem to be piecemeal and incomplete.

Generate all IPv4 addresses in bash from a CIDR or netmask
#!/bin/bash -ue
# Modified "CIDR to IP range" function taken from https://stackoverflow.com/a/18120519/213983
# use like `cidr_iter "192.168.1.1/24"`
cidr_iter() {
# create array containing network address and subnet
local network=(${1//\// })

thom-nic / _spacing-helpers.scss
Last active September 3, 2020 15:28 — forked from jacurtis/_spacing-helpers.scss
SASS Margin and Padding Helpers Loop. Generates .mts type helper classes.
/*
* Spacing helpers for consistent margin and padding on elements. Uses rems (not px!)
*
* With the current default settings, generates classes like:
* .mts = margin-top: 0.5rem
* .phl = padding-left: 2rem; padding-right: 2rem; // h = horizontal = left/right
*
* Inspired by:
* https://github.com/mrmrs/css-spacing
* https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.0/utilities/spacing/

thom-nic / Dockerfile
Last active August 13, 2020 14:35
Dockerfile that attempts to run the app as non-root user. This creates a `node` user & sets permissions on app files. Note you cannot `chown` files in a docker 'volume' during the build process, but you can at runtime (as part of your `CMD`) but in that case you can't use the `USER` command to change the UID before `CMD` runs.
###
# Node.js app Docker file
#
# Some basic build instructions:
# ```
# # you should delete node_modules b/c you don't want that copied during 'ADD'
# docker build -t thom-nic/node-bootstrap .
# # run a shell in the container to inspect the environment (as root):
# docker run --rm -itu root thom-nic/node-bootstrap /bin/bash
# ```

thom-nic / chunked_transfer_decoder.rb
Last active February 5, 2020 15:23
Rack middleware to decode chunked transfer HTTP request
#require 'rack/request'
# Rack middleware to decode a `Transfer-Encoding: chunked` HTTP request.
#
# USAGE NOTE:
#
# Some HTTP servers (Webrick and Unicorn/Rabinbows/Zbatery) already decode the
# chunked stream, but they leave the 'Transfer-Encoding' header and don't bother
# to add a 'Content-Length' header, which causes rails ActionDispatch::Request
# to not parse the whole request body.
